Cairn at Winyards Nick is a prehistoric burial mound situated on high ground in Derbyshire, approximately 470 metres south-east of Mitchell Field. The monument comprises a stone cairn typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in the upland regions of the Peak District. Such cairns served as conspicuous markers of burial sites and often contained cremated or inhumed remains within internal chambers or cists. The site's elevated location reflects the characteristic placement of Bronze Age burial monuments on moorland and ridgeland, which were significant ritual and territorial markers in the prehistoric landscape.
